Spontaneous mitochondrial depolarizations are independent of SR Ca2+ release.
The mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) underlies many mitochondrial functions, including Ca(2+) influx into the mitochondria, which allows them to serve as buffers of intracellular Ca(2+). Spontaneous depolarizations of DeltaPsi(m), flickers, have been observed in isolated mitochondria and intact cells using the fluorescent cationic lipophile tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE),...
متن کاملQuantitative prosodic analysis of spontaneous speech
This paper presents a study analyzing the prosody of spontaneous speech exemplified by the OSU Buckeye corpus of American English employing the Fujisaki model and syllable duration analysis. Results show, inter alia, that model parameters are much more strongly influenced by the higher level discourse structure than by their syntactic function. The study shows that modeling strategies can be em...
متن کاملSpontaneous transient depolarizations in lymphatic vessels of the guinea pig mesentery: pharmacology and implication for spontaneous contractility.
Guinea pig mesenteric lymphatic vessels exhibit rhythmic constrictions induced by action potential (AP)-like spikes and initiated by entrainment of spontaneous transient depolarizations (STDs). To characterize STDs and the signaling mechanisms responsible for their occurrence, we used intracellular microelectrodes, Ca2+ imaging, and pharmacological agents. In our investigation of the role of in...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of circulating mitochondrial DNA in plasma.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of circulating mitochondrial DNA in plasma and serum, but the concentrations and physical characteristics of circulating mitochondrial DNA are unknown. The aim of this study was to develop an assay to quantify mitochondrial DNA in the plasma of healthy individuals. METHODS We adopted a real-time quantitative PCR approach and evaluated ...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of tumor mitochondrial RNA using microarray.
AIM To design a novel method to rapidly detect the quantitative alteration of mtRNA in patients with tumors. METHODS Oligo 6.22 and Primer Premier 5.0 bio-soft were used to design 15 pairs of primers of mtRNA cDNA probes in light of the functional and structural property of mtDNA, and then RT-PCR amplification was used to produce 15 probes of mtRNA from one normal gastric mucosal tissue. Tota...
